Scottish Borders Housing Association and Scottish Borders Tenants Organisation, along with partners, are spreading a bit of cheer with a donation to the Cash for Kids Mission Christmas Appeal.

The organisations, along with Jewson Partnership Solutions (East Scotland), Midburn Construction Ltd, Keith McLean Carpets, and Bruce Stevenson, donated a total of £1,350 to Cash for Kids this week.

Julia Mulloy, chief executive at SBHA, said: “Over the past few weeks our people have taken part in a number of Christmas activities to help spread a bit of joy, and we were keen to support a charity that helps local people.”

Alice Edwards, charity manager at Radio Borders Cash for Kids, said: “This year again has been extremely difficult for so many families and, with over 1,948 applications from families for Christmas, this incredible donation will go a long way in helping us to ensure that no child wakes up on Christmas Day without a gift.”
